Taxation without Representation As a result of the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and Townshend Act, the colonists began to protest the British Parliament and boycott British goods. Because the colonists did not have any representatives in Britain’s government, they declared it was unfair to enforce such taxes. “No taxation without representation” became the colonists battle cry.

22
Protests and Violence Colonists began to boycott British goods to hurt British merchants and British business. Many colonists simply ignored the Sugar Act and Stamp Act. They even threatened tax collectors. While putting pressure on the British Parliament to repeal the Stamp Act, the colonists wrote the Declaration of Rights and Grievances to the British king. The Stamp Act was repealed in March 1766.

Townshed Acts of 1765 Townshed Acts – taxes on glass, paint, oil, lead, paper, and tea. The cause of the townshed act was that they tricked them into paying Taxes so they could pay British officials. In the result of the Townshed Act was that they boycotted all goods From English.
